Taking a comic stance on the issue of global warming, a new web series The North Pole will stream on September 12 on www.thenorthpoleshow.com .

Prior to its streaming, The North Pole will be hosted by the Grand Lake Theater on September 7. Written and produced by Josh Healey, directed by Yvan Iturriaga, the series is executive produced by Movement Generation, an Oakland-based nonprofit that engages in transformative action towards the liberation and restoration of land, labor, and culture.
